A DAY Walk
On my way to the bus stop. An almost eerie feeling in Downtown Louisville, KY.
Black History Month: Facts #12
This story comes from local news station, WHAS-11. A very interesting story, especially if you're from the Louisville area. "Walnut Street" Link
Tales from the TARCside: “Not Your Everyday Passenger!”
Local news station WLKY caught up with some rather... different TARC riders. Chris Chandler, Digital Producer for WLKY, filmed "Frankenstein" getting on the #71 bus (from New Albany, Indiana, through Portland, Russell, and Downtown Louisville, to Jeffersonville, Indiana), as a promotion for 5 haunted attractions around town. You can see Chris's report HERE. I like … Continue reading Tales from the TARCside: “Not Your Everyday Passenger!”
“Short Circuits”: Dan Johnson
I have been in public a long time, and sometimes my pants have come down.... "But it certainly hasn't been like that.

“Inside The Terrordome”: ‘Survive And Adapt!’
Surviving the monetary and life sucker punches from January and February... barely: I may need to rethink the design, layout, title (just so there's no unintended copyright infringement with the Public Enemy track this title is based off of), and overall content of "Welcome to the Terrordome". I'd like to keep the personal updates in here; outside of … Continue reading “Inside The Terrordome”: ‘Survive And Adapt!’
“Short Circuits”
To get some of the more distasteful subjects out of the way first: Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis refused to grant marriage licenses to LGBT couples months ago. The Supreme Court made its ruling about gay marriages... and Davis refused to grant the licenses, based on "religious freedom". She and her attorney appealed; a Circuit … Continue reading “Short Circuits”
